Most desks end up with a nice mechanical keyboard, a separate mouse, maybe a trackpad, a macro pad, and, if you work in 3D, a space controller, all fighting for room. Keyboards stay fixed layouts, even as workflows get more complex and tools multiply. Naya Connect treats the keyboard as the center of a modular workstation instead of just another rectangle, letting the rest of your input tools snap onto it and adapt as your work changes.
Naya Connect is a low-profile mechanical ecosystem built around the Naya Type keyboard and a dock. Naya Type is a slim 75% board with an aluminum body, Kailh Choc V2 switches, and a 14.9 mm profile, designed to be wireless when paired with the dock. The interesting part is not the layout, but what can snap onto it, a family of input modules that attach magnetically and talk to the same software layer.
Designer: Naya
The keyboard and dock have magnetic connection points on both sides, letting you attach modules wherever they make sense. You can add a Multipad as a numpad or macro pad, a six-key strip for extra shortcuts, or build a full console by chaining modules along one edge. The system grows sideways with your workflow instead of forcing you into a single configuration that never quite fits once your needs shift or projects change.
The modules cover different input modes. A Multipad acts as a numpad or macro grid, a six-key strip handles quick actions, a Track module replaces a mouse with a trackball, a Touch module works like a compact touchpad, a Tune dial offers dynamic haptics for scrubbing timelines or adjusting values, and a Float puck gives six degrees of freedom for 3D navigation and camera control.
The hardware only works because the software is flexible. Naya Flow is the configuration app that lets you remap keys, tune module behaviour, and build complex logic with drag-and-drop tools. You can set per-app profiles, change how the Tune dial feels depending on what you are doing, and decide what each touch zone or trackball gesture should trigger, without writing scripts or diving into config files.
The aluminum body, low-profile keycaps, and clean black aesthetic keep the keyboard from looking like a science project, even when it is covered in modules. The modules share the same design language, so a trackball, dial, and macro pad feel like parts of one system rather than a pile of mismatched gadgets. The result is a desk that looks intentional even when it is heavily customized and adapted to very specific tasks.
Naya Connect is aimed at people who live in code editors, timelines, spreadsheets, or 3D scenes all day and want input tools that can evolve with their work. It is not trying to be a mass-market keyboard. Instead, it’s trying to be a platform that grows and reconfigures as often as the projects do, without asking you to keep buying entirely new peripherals or cluttering the desk with orphaned tools.
